Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard has suggested that Antonio Conte got his tactics absolutely wrong in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat at runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
Disappointing day in the City
The reigning League champions made the long trip to the City of Manchester in search of their first win in three attempts after a stalemate with La Liga leaders FC Barcelona and a defeat at rivals Manchester United.
The Blues adopted a rather negative approach to their clash to inform Manchester City.
The Citizens cruised to a 1-0 victory courtesy of Bernardo Silva’s goal in the first-half at the Etihad to condemn the Blues to successive English Premier League losses.
The exciting attacker touched the ball only 32 times, while Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan had 181 touches on the ball during the clash.
Under-pressure Italian
Manager Antonio Conte is coming under immense pressure at the Bridge following his poor start to 2018 so far after four wins in 15 matches.
The Belgium international forward wasn’t impressed with the club’s approach to the Premier League encounter at City on Sunday.
The West London club won the English title with two matches to spare last season after they finished seven points ahead of closest challengers Tottenham Hotspur.
The Chelsea No 10 scored 16 goals in their title-winning season to help his side win their second Premier League title in three years.
